“In podcasting, it’s not about downloads; it’s about creating meaningful engagement.” 

I talk with Harry Morton, founder of Lower Street Media, to explore the future of brand storytelling through podcasting. With over 7,000 episodes produced and high-profile clients like PepsiCo and Fidelity, Harry shares insider strategies for using podcasting to build brand credibility, boost audience loyalty, and attract high-quality leads.

Together, we dive into why podcasting is about more than just download numbers—it’s about creating meaningful engagement and forming emotional connections with listeners. Harry explains how narrative-driven podcasts can stand out, even in “dry” industries, by crafting unique experiences. If you're a brand, entrepreneur, or podcast creator looking to take your podcast to the next level, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you make an impact.
